Thai Chicken Salad
1 boneless chicken breast per person.
Leave the skin on.
3 tablespoons light olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons tamari sauce
1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
Heat a pan until hot and add a smear of olive
oil. Sear the chicken breasts both sides then cook a further
4-5 minutes each side until the chicken is cooked.
Slices into even slices, about 1/2 centimetre thick
and place in a bowl. Whisk the remaining ingredients together
and pour over the chicken. Turn the chicken over in the dressing
and set aside, preferably in the refrigerator.
Take individual serving plates and assemble a variety
of salad ingredients on each. Chose from mixed lettuce, thin celery
sticks, red onion rings, tomato chunks, cucumber slices, red pepper
slivers, sliced radishes, bean sprouts, avocado slices sprinkled
with lemon juice, sliced strawberries - whatever takes your fancy.
Top each salad mound with chicken pieces and pour
over any remaining dressing. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
This can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature.
Just ensure the chicken is not sitting around on the bench if
you are not using it immediately.
